La Chatte Gitane (or The Gypsy Cat) was the name we chose for our cottage in France at the time. We chose it while on the road, moving house the first time round, from Ireland to France with 2 dogs and 7 cats in the car.
This blog began its insignificant life as a recipe book for friends and family who would ask me repeatedly for a recipe of this, that and the other.
Since then it has taken many different directions, like we did and like gypsies tend to do. Sometimes making a U-turn and revisiting familiar roads and taking a break when necessary.
You'll find recipes here, but also musings about the places we've called home, the gardens that we've established, not always successfully, the homes we've improved and the environments we've lived in. Currently, after yet another stint in Ireland, we're back in France @ Le Mas d'Ayen

High-Tech Candle Holders



You'd think I have nothing better to do with my time, than punch some holes through tin cans ?
On the contrary, I have a list as long as my arm to get through, before the party on Boxing Day. Buuuut..... this was also on my list.

They will grace the table beautifully with all the other tat that I will be decorating the table with. You'll see.

In the meantime, I wish you all a
Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, Yule or whatever else you might be celebrating !

    I always love this idea, it's so 'Country Living' and life is never to short to bash a few holes in a tin!

    thanks for the offer of Boxing Day! I have my parents coming to lunch, and I've promised to make beef pie, or I'd be there like a shot!

    thank you for the lovely comment! I have had a gorgeously relaxing day. It's been perfect!

    I hope you can find a slice of time to put your feet up - it is Hard Work cooking Christmas lunch for a big crowd.

    I wish you a very happy Christmas. And health, happiness and wealth for 2012 xx
